From the Sea to the Land Beyond

Double vinyl LP pressing. 2013 release of British Sea Power's widely-praised soundtrack for the film from the Sea to the Land Beyond. The soundtrack consists of re-workings of previous British Sea Power songs and was recorded in Brighton and mixed by Ken Thomas (Sigur Ros, Daughter, M83, Cocteau Twins, Moby). in January 2013 when the film, directed by Penny Woolcock, was first shown on BBC4 as part of the 'Storyville' series the viewing figure nudged 500,000 - over twice the usual audience size. The film features a fantastic array of footage of the British coastline from the BFI's National Archive. Travelling from 1901, through both World Wars, into peacetime and the modern age, 'From the Sea to the Land Beyond' shows our coast as a place of leisure, industry and wild nature. For all this, the British Sea Power soundtrack is a fitting, moving audio counterpart.
